Why are Boys Underperforming in Education?

Gender Analysis of Four Asia-â -Pacific Countries

All girls and boys have an equal right to education. Meeting this right requires an education system, which welcomes all students, girls and boys. Teaching and curricula must respond to studentsÃ­ individual backgrounds, cultures and learning styles, allowing meaningful participation and development. Education should be of high quality, relevant and useful, ensuring that students leave not only with basic levels of education, but also with the skills required to seize further opportunities for employment and learning.
